Project Instructions

1

Project time does not include drying time for neither the paint nor the glue.Note: to ensure adequate drying time, the frog part of the project should be made several days in advance of when it is needed.

2

Open and flatten the cereal box.

3

Fold a rectangular piece of the cereal box in half so long ends meet to make a center line. Unfold. Fold the cardboard so short ends meet.

4

Cut the frog's mouth by cutting into the fold along the center line. Cut about 2/3 of the way to the edges of the folded cardboard. Unfold cardboard. Cut two small rectangles of recycled cardboard (for frog eyes) and fold them in half.

Mix a little Brown paint into some Green paint to create a darker Green. Make several dots on the frog with this new color. Let dry.

7

To assemble the frog, slightly bend the cardboard at the middle line so the mouth pops open. Staple the fold at each side of the cardboard, attaching a piece of ribbon at each staple location. Tie ribbons together to keep sides bent back so the frog stands. Glue a long piece of Red construction paper inside of the open mouth so that it extends in front of the frog. Glue the eyes to the frog. Let dry.

8

At the party, use markers to decorate coffee filter bugs. Fold filters into quarters, then hold markers in one spot until the dye seeps through the filter layers.

9

Gather the coffee filter in the middle and tie with a ribbon to make bugs to feed the frog. Take turns tossing the bugs onto the frog's tongue.
